A truly eclectic mix of the finest art in the country will be on display and available for sale during the 5th Annual Coconut Point Art Festival February 12 - 13, 2011; from the vibrant and bold to the subtle and whimsical festival goers will be able to explore original works of art by more than 250 top national and local artists.

The Coconut Point Art Festival replaced Howard Alan Events' premier art festivals traditionally held in Downtown Naples and has quickly become a tradition in its own right that locals have come to anticipate with the same enthusiasm. Howard Alan Events continues to consistently deliver high caliber shows that festival goers have come to expect and enjoy.

This two-day extravaganza transforms the parking fields of Coconut Point into an outdoor gallery style art show. Spacious aisles allow art enthusiasts to explore the exhibits and interact with the artists who will be present for the duration of the show. The artists have been juried by an independent panel of expert judges, and hand-selected from hundreds of applicants based on quality and diversity ensuring a variety of original and handmade art with wide appeal.
